The 16th annual Green Schools Conference (GSC) will be held February 17-19, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Marina and Spa in San Diego, California.

Each year, the Green Schools Conference (GSC) brings together passionate school leaders and advocates from across the globe to learn, connect, and advance the shared mission of green schools for all. As the only national event dedicated to uniting those who lead, operate, build, and teach in sustainable schools, GSC offers a powerful platform for skill-building, in-depth dialogue, and inspiration.

We invite you to submit a proposal by June 30th to share your effective strategies, partnerships, research, and lessons learned in the work of building greener, healthier, more equitable schools. In addition, you can also apply to be a reviewer by June 30th to help evaluate session proposals in exchange for a $50 discount on your 2026 conference pass. For local advocates, we are also seeking ideas for inspiring green school tours in the San Diego area.
